individualism = narcissism? I don't think so.

So i read this article*(can be found at the bottom of the post)* about how apparently parents in America are picking more unique name's for their children. And some researcher is talking this mess about how apparently we're trying to make our children stick out more, which could possibly lead to personality traits later in life like narcissism..... Are you kidding me? And apparently this pattern just proves that we have a narcissistic country ect ect. This is the biggest load of shit I've read all day!

I'm not one of those people that blend into a crowd and follow along silently, why should my child? To me this article just screams, "follow every rule with out questions, blend in, keep your head down." Ummmm no..... Absolutely not. I was taught to question EVERYTHING and I will teach my daughter to do the same thing. If it doesn't make sense then question it. And I'm definitely not just a sheep in the herd nor do I see that for my daughter. Like why WOULDN'T you want your child to be unique and maintain individually? I 100% support free thinking, thinking outside the box, and you know what...bending the rules sometimes IS a good thing.

I mean come one, if the founder of this country had kept their heads down, didn't question anything, and just blended in with the crowd.....we wouldn't be known as the United States of America right now.....more like the United States of England.

So dear writer's of this article,

WTF.

Sincerely,

Brandyie Marie

Would a lion cheat? No but a Tiger Wood!

Let's take a moment to talk about Tiger Woods..... By this point in time I think we've ALL see Tiger Wood's ''apology'' if you can even call it that. Now he has been accused of cheating on his gorgeous wife with multitudes of other women..... Now let's talk about this very FORCED public apology.... I think it's JUST that....very forced. He did what all other celebrities do cry a little bit, apologize, and blame it alllll on an addiction. I'll tell you exactly what will happen.... He'll go to rehab for a few months, then everyone will feel sorry for him because he can't help himself because of this ''addiction.'' Then he'll get out....... and it all will be forgotten! I swear crying addiction is the biggest celebrity scapegoat there is. "oh i talked shit about jews bc i'm a drunk" "I have a coke addiction that why i act like a crazy bitch!" yada yada yada

It just pisses me off....that he had it ALL going for him, a gorgeous wife, a kid, fame, fortune ect ect... and he goes and fucks it all away!
